It pairs a dramatic 122° angle of view with Venus Optics' acclaimed Zero-D (zero-distortion) optical design, rendering straight lines straight from edge to edge. That combination makes it a natural choice for landscape, architectural, interior, and real-estate work where sweeping perspective must stay geometrically clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bright f\/2.8 maximum aperture lets the 12mm gather light for astrophotography, low-light interiors, and night cityscapes, while still offering depth control when you want it. The optical formula uses 16 elements in 9 groups, and a 5-blade diaphragm shapes light into distinctive 10-point sunstars around bright points and the sun. Built-in autofocus brings fast, accurate focusing to Laowa's wide-angle line, a welcome upgrade for hybrid shooters who move between stills and video.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDespite its full-frame coverage and fast aperture, the lens stays remarkably compact and lightweight at roughly 377 g, making it easy to carry on travel and long shoots. A standard 72mm front filter thread accepts circular polarizers and ND filters, and the 0.21x maximum magnification adds useful close-up flexibility to an already versatile ultra-wide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUltra-wide 122° angle of view with near-zero distortion (Zero-D design)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast f\/2.8 maximum aperture for low-light and astro work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutofocus for Sony E-mount full-frame mirrorless cameras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5-blade diaphragm renders distinctive 10-point sunstars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight (~377 g) and compact for travel and run-and-gun shooting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard 72mm front filter thread for CPL\/ND filters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull 35mm full-frame sensor coverage; 0.21x maximum magnification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens Mount:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sony E-mount\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat Coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35mm Full Frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFocal Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e f\/2.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Aperture:\u003c\/strong\u003e f\/22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngle of View:\u003c\/strong\u003e 122°\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLens Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 elements in 9 groups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiaphragm Blades:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Magnification:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.21x\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Thread:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFocus Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Autofocus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 377 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-Year Manufacturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLens Hood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Cap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Laowa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46444588990661,"sku":"LAO-VE1228AFFE","price":699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3085\/3829\/files\/Laowa-VE1228AFFE-UltraWideLen.jpg?v=1782165406","url":"https:\/\/avlgear.com\/products\/laowa-12mm-f-2-8-lite-zero-d-ultra-wide-autofocus-lens-for-sony-e-mount","provider":"AVLGEAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
